Melancholy
...written on January 07, 2005, @ 19:57

Not depressed, just a little sad...

Since I've last written a few notable things have happened. Most of it just ventting, but that's ok. Yesterday we didn't go to school and I think that's dumb because wednesday was WAY COLDER than yesterday yet we go to school wednesday and not thursday. I know it's hard to predict the weather, but I know school officals have to be up there pretty early and they probably watch the news so why didn't they just call in to Channel 4 News and tell them to put Moore Public Schools on the "school cancelled" list? Moore people are so dumb.

So yesterday I got to sleep until 8:30 and I was pretty happy about that because I got to be without Erika's voice or the phone ringing for awhile and I got to watch The Nanny. I get dressed and everything before 11AM and I end up having to dust the living room. And I thought Erika's room was bad, there was an inch of dust on the mantel. It's so weird because mom is a neat freak like me so I can't see how it got like that. Erika vaccumed and emptied the dishwasher - finally some work - only she left the clean stuff in the sink. What sense does that make? Since Maile sent me the list of vocab words for anatomy I finished that after I dusted.

I was tired by 9:30 and that's so sad because I usually cannot go to sleep until around 3AM. So I finally shut off the tv at 11:30 - making sure I was going to be really tired before I turned everythng off. I hear the phone ring, on of Erika's little friends decided to call all late. That's so freaking annoying because I have to wake up at 6:03 in the morning and I try to go to sleep at a decent time, but I cannot fall asleep so I think the next time that happens I'm just going to tell whoever that they need to stop calling after 10PM on a school night. Think I'm kidding? I would seriously do that because I've done it before.

Like always I didn't get any good sleep last night. I wake up and just don't want to do anything with my hair. Yeah it looked like shit, but I could really care less. Band was alright, but I was annoyed with the fact that no one was doing what they were supposed to be doing. I found out that I wasn't the only one who didn't get one of those band trip forms, Jourdan didn't get one either.

Anatomy we got a new student, Adam, I think and he's kind of cute, but very Westmoore if you know what I mean. If you go there then you know what I'm talking about the "regular" white guy with AE on. I finished up my definitions and copied down my notes.

Psychology is getting kind of interesting, I can already pick out who I'm not going to like. What kind of discouarges me is the fact that Mr. Flemming told us that once we finish his class we're going to watch movies, talk to people and read books a different way. I don't want to be analyzing everything all the time. But we'll see what happens because I like stuff like this.

I went to lunch with Brandi and it was fun, we went to Wendy's. I haven't really talked to her - face to face - in a long while. I wonder if she can get back in band so she can go to Orlando with us. She dropped me off at school and I was like 2MIN late for class, I don't know when 1st lunch ends!

History was ok, I actually talked to the people in that class. Surprisingly I knew a lot of people in there. It wasn't so bad, but that class doesn't challenge me as much as it used to because Mr. Pennington gives his fourth hour the answers all the time.

English we had to watch that movie again and that girl and her mom were just being dumb. Neither of them had read the book so they just went on "heresay" that it was racist. And that makes me mad because I understand that it really isn't a racist story, it's a satire of how America was when Twain wrote [Huckleberry Finn]. Abigail and I (the only black people in my english class) are just like, "Let's just read the book." Because we understand that it's not racist and we're going to see about it ourselves.

Math was cool, we had about 10 people in that class again. I actually learned these trig equations that we're doing. That is why I want Mrs. Schwarz to teach calculus because I want to LEARN. Of course Jessica, Garrett and I talked about Karenza - Christina, Maile, Jessica and I are going to TP her car. I LOVE hanging around with Christina, Jessica and Maile.

I get home and Christina calls. I talk to her for a little bit then get online. I talk to Brandi and Sally for a little bit. Then I got off because by this time food was on it's way home. We were watching Spice Girls - yeah I know it's a good movie! - and Erika would not stop singing with the movie, mom asked not to and I did too, but no she had to. She kept messing with the dogs after mom said to leave them alone, repeatedly, and finally mom just yelled at her. AGAIN she wouldn't stop singing so I just went to my room to practice. I'm actually not that bad on our new piece.

Last night I had to register for the ACT online. That took about an HOUR! I was so mad because I had to fill out these stupid "likes and dislikes" questions. I didn't feel like taking the writing part this time, plus it was extra extra money - I didn't want to WASTE (HA!) money. So I'll be taking the ACT on February 12th, 2005. I hope that I can take it up at Westmoore and that Garrett will be in the same room as me because that would be so comforting. Plus I can rub it in his face that I got a higher grade than he did!

I've been a little melancholy lately because I'm unhappy with my schedule and the fact that expect to see Wes everytime I turn the corner in the school. It's sad, I know. That's all it seems I want to talk about and it sucks. I don't want to talk about him all my life and say, "Yeah he was my best friend and he was there for me for TWO YEARS, blah blah blah." I need to be a little more cheery. I think that I might just see about changing my schedule anyway because I want my old history class back, oh so bad. Tiffany has Flemming 4th hour and so I'll ask Tiffany in a few days how many people she has in her class and I'll ask Mr. Flemming if I could switch to his 4th hour instead. I think if I did that things would be a WHOLE LOT BETTER. It's not like I hate Brandi, but I liked having second lunch it feels so weird eating so early.

My mom called me and we talked about a car. I still don't have one, but I'm hoping that I will soon because it's going to get cold and I don't want to be stuck at school when we get to leave early. I'll be a good driver, trust me. Just because I'm 17 doesn't mean that I drive like a maniac. Plus I'll stay in the band room a little bit then go home after all the traffic has cleared. I wouldn't even have to wait for Erika because she's got Maggie, I'll leave at the same time I leave to ride the bus to school so it wouldn't be too much different.

I have a bit of homework that I need to do, some anatomy reading, 3 math problems and some reading and modeling a poem for english. I also need to clean out all my folders because this is a new year and I don't need all that old stuff in them.

Is it sad that it's a quarter 'til 9PM and I'm already sleepy?
